Everyone knows the abandoned old house at the edge of the woods is haunted, but one reckless boy steps inside for a dare. Creeping through the dust-covered rooms, he finds a strange message scrawled on the wall: Stay Too Long. Then, he finds letters scattered on the floor written by previous visitors. Lingering, he begins to feel the chill of a strange presence in the gloom … is it too late to run?
